Roadblock #10 Financial Disorganization
If you’re not sure what you have, then how do you know it’s perfect?
When asked about where you are currently with your finances, do you know…
- How much you save every year?
- How much you have in the bank?
- How much insurance you have in place?
- How much you have remaining on your home mortgage.
Too often the answer is, “I don’t know.” So how is it that you could be moving forward and pursuing an optimal financial outcome when you’re not really sure what you have or more importantly how it all fits together?
What kind of financial disadvantages could I face by being disorganized with my money?
- Not saving enough
- Not having the proper protection in place
- Not having enough short term liquidity
- Overpaying taxes
- Taking too much risk
- Having a mortgage payment that is taking up too much space within your financial picture
It’s the not knowing that leads to these types of financial hurdles that find their way into your financial picture. It is important to always have a clear and updated view of your finances.
The Living Balance Sheet® technology helps you to stay organized, by allowing you to:
- How much you save every year?
- Link your accounts and have updated account values daily. You will be able to see how much your mutual fund is worth and how much you still owe on your car — all in one place.
- Be the recipient of a brand new net worth statement every morning when you wake up
- Have an electronic vault that stores tax returns, investment statements and insurance policies, so that Mother Nature can’t reach them.
- Establish alerts so that you’ll be reminded to review your will, update your insurance portfolio and to check-in, if cash balances or credit card balances go too high or too low.
All of that and more is part of what The Living Balance Sheet®experience amounts to.
